Our Values
The Baobab Wines Portfolio is built on the principals of Authenticity, Sustainability & Diversity
AUTHENTICITY
–
We focus on family owned and operated wine estates and small privately owned brands. Our winemakers know how to maximize the terroir through winemaking knowledge built over generations and can maintain the quality in their wines vintage upon vintage. We represent some of the most exciting young and dynamic winemakers in South Africa who are driving the change in our winemaking reputation on the global stage. From Old Vines to Site Specific Single Vineyard Wines - the future of South African Wines can be found here.
Diversity
–
We see strength in Diversity. South Africa is commonly known as the Rainbow Nation due to its vast Cultural heritage. Our strength as a wine region is due to this heritage, and deserves to be celebrated by including all makers. We support the multi-generational farming families who have great knowledge of their terroir and with every vintage and generation make better wine. We support the young trailblazers, those who have not had access to land historically. These artists are making some of the most exciting wines in South Africa right now and deserve a seat on the world stage.
SUSTAINABILITY
–
All of our wines are Certified Sustainable with each bottle of wine we distribute carrying a seal guaranteeing this certification. We represent some of the most premium and sought after certified organic and biodynamic wines being produced in South Africa today. All of our wines are naturally fermented. We care about our environment and we care about our people, that is why each of our wines come from Wineries that operate either as Fair Trade Certified or WIETA Fair Labor Certified. We are a family business representing family business, we believe in a sustainable future.
“Our strength lies in our knowledge of the region and our ability to find wines of exceptional quality and value.
